Was so happy when i saw eskro's tip about the upgradeable power brick for Antec ISK 300-65. (thanks eskro )
I've been looking for such a case, with that type of fanless PSU, so I've decided to built
a setup based on that nice case
So far, this is what I've come up with:

My goal is, for building this myself instead of f.ex. buying a Zotac ID82, to have some flexibility, low noise and low power options.
Got some questions for this setup, I hope you guys can help me with

1) I wan't to try out the Intel HD Graphics, but if it doesn't turn out well, I wan't to be able to
put an discrete Nvidia fanless graphics card in it. The board has a PCIe x16, but will a GT210 or maybe
a GT430 fit in the case?

2) After reading eskro's and others recommendations of the Scythe BIG Shuriken 2, I would really like this in my setup.
But it doesn't seem to fit? http://www.itxgamer.com/motherboards/asr...-container
Comment nr 2 states, that it won't fit, because it will block the PCIe slot, but that theres a slight chance, that it could fit with Intel DH67CF mobo.
Anyone tried this?
If not, is there any other cooler, smaller, which will fit, and is almost as good as the BIG Shuriken 2? Recommendations?

3) Will this be more noiseless, than the Asrock ION 330?

4) With the above setup, the original 65w should be fine right? (superb that I can change it, if I put af discrete card in there :-) )

@eskro - with space in mind, which motherboard would go for? I'm not the "wooho there's a new thing" -guy. I hope this build will last the next...min. 3 years.
(I've almost had the Asrock ION 330 for 3 years...it pooped the HD ½ year ago, and the last two months it's been really noisy...metalic-noisy-way )

2) You've posted great pics of the scythe biggie, I've drooled over that thing, but sorry, I don't think that'll fit. I Wish.
Maybe on an AMD setup, there's a better chance
3) Weee :-) Also with the stock cooler, that I'm gonna start with?

eskro - There's about $20 difference here in Denmark. But that's not the biggie. I've read forums, with users who said that the IR-dongle would only work within 1,5 meters. Thats a dealbreaker for me. The Intel DH67CF mobo has a CIR expansion thing.
But...there's 6 USB ports, so there's room for me, to sacrifice one port, for my loyal MCE dongle ;-)
WiFI doesn'r matter for me, it would just be a bonus.

@bluray - You've got a really good point. I wan't to build it low power, with the i3 35w.
But while googling, I'm a bit confused. The Asus mobo says "Intel HD 3000". The CPU says "HD 2000". I'm a noob in that area. What would i get? 2000 or 3000?
(not sure about the difference, hope that it'll play/perform better, or at least the same as my ION, on linux)

I really appreciate you guys feedback

...and...are you guys hooked on AMD?
There's no "FTW!!!" or "Wooo, that setup...I almost touched my penis there, I wan't that setup"

I know this setup is a bit pricey, but the taxes here in Denmark are way high.
And the recommended Patriot SSD, isn't available here also. So I had to find something similar with great recommendations.

eskro & waver - it's 65w - I know the i3 that i chose, with 35w TDP, is slower.
But my build is a 24/7/365 , and my electric bill is almost through the rough .
I've just got an LED, instead of be beloved Pana Plasma. That's 1/3 of the bill.
This setup, won't be lower power, than my Asrock ION, but i hope for about the same, maybe a bit more, realistic.
Just wan't it to be quiet. I've got small, but very sensitive ears, when it comes to noise

There is no i3-2105 in it.....as the other guy in the other thread found out, his 65W A6-3500 can spike up to 75W. Power brick is very cheap...why not play it save?

I'm trying to point out that you can get i3-2105 for the same price as i3-2120T in your list by upgrading to 90W power brick (it's very cheap upgrade). You'll get a better i3-2105 with 3.1GHz CPU and HD3000 iGPU....

Oh, the mobo can handles both HD2000/HD3000 iGPU's...

Not me! After installing several i5 PC's for the last couple months, I'm leaning toward 65W i3-2105 with HD300.

@eskro - heh, if a discrete fanless Nvidia will fit, it's down to the CPU cooler. Any good smaller alternatives to the scythe biggie?
Almost pulling the tricker on this setup, else I'm never gonna get my Asrock ION replacement

@bluray - Fair enough. It performs better, no doubt, but for a 24/7/365, it should be better with the T model, right?
The i3 is actually overkill for me at the moment, but i'd like this setup to be "future proof", with discrete gpu card in mind.
And, with the upgrade from the Asrock ION 330, I wan't some of a boost, for my money
Actually, the Asrock 2. gen ION, is only about $35 cheaper, vs the above setup.
Denmark is a great and lovely little contry, but taxes are crazy
That's one reason, why i love the Antec case. The pico-PSU, would cost me almost doubble, with shipment.
That means, I'll "only" get HD 2000 with my setup? Hope it will blend, because i don't know the difference

Thanks eskro. Now i know, that it's possible to get a silent setup, when there's no room for the big shuriken 2 + a future PCIe discrete graphics card.
Great, HD3000 must logicaly be better than HD2000. As long as it plays 1080p flawless, and all other smaller things, I'm happy :-)
